Lenses are extremely sensitive and can only give the
quality as planned when light is able to pass
unhindered through the system. Whenever you are
caught out in rain your glasses (or sunglasses) no
longer give you a clear view. The same happens
even to the best “lens” when its surface becomes
embellished with dust, drop residues or finger prints.
In addition, with regard to optical performance and
subsequently to quality, digital cameras are extremely
demanding. Especially when using smaller shutter
openings any contamination present on the lens will have very detrimental effects. The result is
even worse when there are finger prints on the rear lens – in fact some lenses can become
quickly become absolute flops. Even with all the necessary caution, impurities on the lens cannot
be avoided – it is, therefore – essential to provide a system for cleaning the surfaces in order to
guarantee ideal conditions. But take care! You do not just simply wipe the dirt off your car with a
duster! It is far better for you to trust the professionals and to clean your lens in the same way that
technicians in the service depots do.
The first step is the removal of all dust particles from
the front lens. You can only achieve a perfect result
by using an aerosol with compressed air. For this
procedure the lens should be attached to the camera
or protected by the back lid. Blow-balls, brushes or
even your own breath are only poor substitutes! Blow-
balls are significantly weaker, brushes can cause the
dust to scratch and in addition there is always the danger of dust transportation, for the reasons
mentioned, it is advisable to avoid the use of your own breath to clean the lens. Avoidance of any
blowing in the area of the rear lens is to be recommended, as this only presses the particles into
the more or less larger cavities, from where they will sooner or later be transported into the
camera and thus also on to the sensor!
For the rear parts of your lenses use Green Clean® MINI VACUUM (you will also appreciate this
system for cleaning your digital SLR) and simply vacuum the dust away!
Should any sticky particles, grime streaks or finger prints as already mentioned still remain on the
surface of the lens it is time to use a WET and DRY cleaning method! Green Clean® LENS
CLEANER is the perfect solution: Consisting of both a wet and a dry special fleece cloth, packed
in duo-sachets. The quality of the cloth used is decisive for the effectiveness of the cleaning
agent. The damp cloth is soaked with a solution exactly and specially developed for use on the
surface tension of High-Tech coated lenses. Use of the wet-cloth enables you to deal with all
difficult forms of surface contamination whereby at the same time giving anti-static treatment
In a second step you remove any surplus solution and at the same time polish the surface of the
lens. Following the cleaning of your lens – more than one lens can be cleaned at once – the WET
& DRY cloths are used to clean the eyepiece and the display of your camera.
